In The Black Pegasus Guide — All Variants, Loadouts & Tactics
Three-crew assault transport. Brings boarding pods, drones, and ECM. Niche but unique in PvE.
Overview
The Pegasus is the only hull that turns In The Black into something other than a dogfighter. With boarding pods, drone bays, and the heaviest ECM suite, the Pegasus is a Contract-mode unlock that opens Raid, Boarding, and Recon contracts that no fighter can complete. Skip it for ranked PvP; you want it the moment you start running Raid contracts.
All Pegasus variants
| Variant | Role | Loadout | Notes |

| Pegasus Spectre | ECM | 1x Cannon, full ECM suite, 4x AAM | Best stealth approach. |
| Pegasus Spooky | Drone carrier | 1x Cannon, 4x Combat Drones | Force-multiplier in 5v5. |
| Pegasus Shadow | Boarding | 1x Cannon, 2x Boarding Pods, 2x AAM | Required for Raid contracts. |

How to fly the Pegasus
The Pegasus is not a starter hull. You should already be comfortable with cold-thrust drifting and target velocity matching before bringing this frame into BloodSport. Train in Simulator with flight assist OFF for at least an hour first.
